Surgery Gynecology And Obstetrics Vol 17 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Journal of Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Vol. 31 It is an acknowledged fact, as declared by a well known medical teacher and author in his latest text-book on treatment, that heat applied and persisted in over the entire diseased area is a most potent and physiological antagonist to those essential conditions which are directly induced by the causes of the disease, and from which all ultimate pathologic results must develop. It is profoundly stim. Ulating, and while local heat from undue combustion is present, the applied heat stimulates the capillaries and physiologically unloads the venous capillaries. At the same time it stimulates the arterial capillaries through its influence upon the peripheries of the nerves and secondly upon the nerve centres, to drive the accumulating tide through the engorged vessels, thus unloading them into the veins. It thus carries 06 the accumulating waste, brings into the capillaries a new tissue supply and quickly remedies the harm that has been done them in the primary congestion. It is a most rational procedure. It is logical, it is reasonable, it is physiological and it is highly scientific. And such a course is always acceptable.
